Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1309: Chapter 304: Yuan Sanjia: Chen Jiu-si, I’ve Brought You a Grand Gift

After several storms, Huang Wan’er was utterly exhausted, lying curled up in Chen Jie’s arms, looking pitiful everywhere, like a homeless kitten.

Her fingers traced the bite mark on Chen Jie’s shoulder, and she said, feeling heartache: ”Does it hurt?”

Chen Jie replied: ”It hurts.”

”I bit too lightly.”

Huang Wan’er said: ”What’s this pain compared to the time I gave birth to Bean; I almost thought I was going to die.”

”That kind of despair is the real pain.”

Hearing that, Chen Jie looked at Huang Wan’er and said: ”Wan’er.”

”You’ve suffered.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Wan’er held Chen Jie and said: ”It’s all in the past...”

”As long as you treat the two of us well in the future, that’s enough.”

Huang Wan’er hugged Chen Jie tighter, and Chen Jie turned to hold Huang Wan’er, saying: ”Don’t worry, I will never let the two of you down.”

After Chen Jie said that, he realized Huang Wan’er was silent.

Then he felt her steady breathing, in and out...

Asleep.

Feeling the beauty beside him asleep, Chen Jie tenderly stroked her head, thinking how hard life had been for Huang Wan’er.

When she married, she didn’t marry a good husband, and during childbirth, he wasn’t even by her side. When he returned, he could tell Huang Wan’er’s state wasn’t right.

If he had returned a few days later, she might have developed postnatal depression.

Thinking about this, Chen Jie gently patted her back, just then a shadow flashed outside, instantly snapping him back to reality: ”Who!”

Chen Jie sat up from the bed, but the shadow had disappeared, anyone who could infiltrate the well-guarded Chen Residence must be a master.

But since he intentionally revealed himself, it was likely to lure me out. Realizing this, Chen Jie pulled the silk quilt over to cover Huang Wan’er’s body, got up, and dressed.

Quietly walking to the door, he opened the door to find Mudan asleep leaning against the wall in the corridor outside. The sound of the door woke her up, and she looked at Chen Jie: ”Master, you...”

Chen Jie said: ”Shh, the lady is asleep. By the way, did you see anyone pass by here just now?”

Mudan replied: ”No, I didn’t see anyone. I’ve been standing guard at the door all along.”

Chen Jie said: ”Alright, then it’s fine, you can rest now. The lady probably won’t wake up until dawn.”

”Yes.”

Mudan immediately responded. Right then, Chen Jie looked up to see the direction where the shadow vanished; it seemed to be towards the back garden of his house.

Chen Jie thought and quickly walked towards the back garden.

Soon, Chen Jie arrived at the back garden, looked around, but didn’t see any sign of people. Did he see wrong?

Just then, suddenly a chicken bone flew down from the viewing platform in the back garden of the Chen Residence.

This viewing platform was built atop a roof, like a rooftop terrace, and at this moment, the chicken bone directly struck towards Chen Jie. Looking up, however, there was no sign of activity, nor a person, atop the terrace.

But just as Chen Jie was wondering, suddenly a chicken bone appeared out of nowhere, landing at his feet.

Upon noticing this, Chen Jie immediately realized and called out: ”Senior Yuan, long time no see, is it really appropriate to play this kind of prank on our meeting?”

Saying so, Chen Jie leapt and jumped onto the high platform, where a voice also emerged: ”You kid, not seen for just a year or two, progressed so fast, found me so quickly.”

Saying this, Chen Jie saw the scene on the platform change, and next moment, there was a middle-aged handsome man dressed in gray, wearing sunglasses, with half-black and half-white hair, sitting cross-legged in a disheveled manner.

A roasted chicken dish was laid out in front of him.

Chen Jie looked at him, then at the ground around, noticing stones placed in the form of trigrams on the ground, and he picked up one of the stones.

Chen Jie slowly walked into his Eight Trigrams Array, placing the stone in his hand, instantly blocking everything inside from view outside.

This trick Chen Jie had seen, he and Yuan Sanjia once used it to secretly watch Qiao Hongyan take a bath back in the day.

Yuan Sanjia said: ”Sit, the food in your Chen Residence isn’t bad, such whole chicken that no one touches, kept in the private cupboard of the head chef, conveniently filling my belly.”

Chen Jie understood Yuan Sanjia’s words, the chefs in the house had been pilfering roast chickens, and Yuan Sanjia found out and took advantage of it himself.

Chen Jie understood this, there’s a saying, a chef who doesn’t pilfer, doesn’t harvest grains, pilfering something from the kitchen is normal, Chen Jie had no intention of making it too strict after all, water too clear, has no fish.

While I eat meat, the people below should at least drink some soup.

Chen Jie looked at Yuan Sanjia and said: ”Senior Yuan didn’t come just to tell me my chefs are pilfering things, did you?”

After he finished speaking, Yuan Sanjia said: ”Such an important thing, isn’t it worth mentioning?”

Chen Jie responded: ”It’s worth it, if Senior Yuan says it’s worth it, then it certainly is. By the way, Senior Yuan, about yesterday outside the city?”

Yuan Sanjia said: ”Oh, it was an assassin sent by the Ruyang King, a female ninja from Fusang Country in the Molten Furnace Realm.”

”Molten Furnace Realm?”

”Yes, Molten Furnace Realm, fairly strong, probably not weaker than Han Miaozhen.”

”But this person excels in assassination, very troublesome.”

Yuan Sanjia casually said, tearing off a chicken wing and started eating. Unfortunately, there was only one wing, because the other was taken by today’s guest earlier. Despite stealing, the chefs merely borrow what the family doesn’t claim.

”I must really thank Senior Yuan for saving me from this disaster then!”
